FINALLY! The results are in and the 2012 American Idol champion has been crowned! Obviously they always keep you on the edge of your seat for a two-hour finale before they will reveal the winner…

Phillip Phillips! He’s 21, from Georgia, totally original, writes his own music and is YOUR season 11 American Idol winner! I know some people are SUPER disappointed, BUT he just happened to get more votes than Jessica Sanchez! I must say though, how do you compare the two in the first place!? They are totally different and have completely unique styles all their own. But in the end, it had to be someone. Each had strengths and weaknesses, and both deserved to make it to the finals.

Either way we are super excited for both of these majorly talented contestants. And we can’t forget, being a runner-up on American Idol can bring stardom and a record deal as well! We wish both of these guys the best of luck! 🙂
